I'm assuming it's made of stainless since i bought a magnetic tank bag and it didn't stick... i'm wondering if i can get an aluminum replacement so i can use a magnetic bag... i'm not a big fan of the strap version and i've already searched for an answer. i guess, does anybody make alum. tanks for an 05 600rr or not? and if so, where can i get one?

 

The RR "tank" is actually a tank cover and is made of plastic. Sorry you'd have to use straps or get a tail bag.

 

hmm... thanks for the info

 

You can get the plastic cover off, and superglue small magnets, or little pieces of steel inside of it to give your magnetic bag a place to adhere to. I 've heard of people doing it with great results, and it will be one of my next mods, when I get my Joe Rocket Manta magnetic tank bag sometime next month.

 

i think i have a project for tomorrow now... hehe

 

^^ thats the best solution imo!

 

awesome... my whole problem with the straps is that i plan to be using this bag often, but not using it just as often (i ride almost daily), and if i get one with straps, i don't want the straps to be hanging all over the place when the bag isn't on the bike... so the magnetic one really appealed to me and now i think you all have provided me an answer to my problem of having a (so far) useless tank bag.

 

Glad U got it worked out.
